Hi,

I don't know but I would doubt it.  I'm using a DEC Express and have the 
same problem.  I have two kernels, the newest Debian kernel from Sid and 
my custom compiled one.  I use lilo, not grub.  If I boot into kernel 1, 
or "Linux," I have the same problem as you.  My /etc/rc.local also quit 
working.  If I boot into my old Linux kernel, everything works as 
before.  Both kernels, or both sets of modules, have the same bug where 
speech will stop after about a screen and a half of text, say about 4 
KB.  I haven't tried doing anything with git as I really don't feel like 
compiling a new kernel package set again and it takes several hours.  I 
haven't figured how to pull from git and just compile modules but I 
think module-assistant would do that if I could get it not to 
automatically download the "latest" Speakup Debian source, which is 
3.0.2-20080517.  Also, I want a stable set of Speakup modules and it 
looks like the past few weeks are not stable yet.
